Hi I have 3 plants all flowering, between 47-50 days old, was wondering how often would people be watering at this stage, they're in 10l airpots, using AN sensi bloom + big bud + magne cal. I've been watering once a day, 2.5-3 litres. Was wondering if I should be trying to water twice a day now as some deficiencys seem to be cropping up, PH seems to be fine so I don't think there's a PH problem causing a lock out. Or should I try upping the nutes? Feeding half strength atm. Strains are all dutch passion, star Ryder, think different, auto extreme.

ALSO I have a auto ultimate in a 15 litre airpot, it's really out growing my grow space it towers above the light and rest of plants. I obviously don't want to chop it, but don't want to raise light too much as will be too far away from three in flower. The AU is still in veg stage, and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. Any advice, was thinking of getting cfl or LED to place above that one plant as I've got a feeling this is going to be biggest yielded by just the sheer size of it.

Any help would be very appreciated.

this thread is worthless without pictures.gif

Is it possible for you to raise the other plants?

in case you haven't seen what you can expect from a DP Ultimate, look here https://www.autoflower.org/f109/tangs-dinafem-cheese-auto-dp-auto-ultimate-38389.html
 
Yea I've seen they can get some size! I really didn't expect it to get so much bigger than the others!!! Not that I'm complaining it's actually quite amazing, just causing some minor inconvenience. I've tried raising others but that seems to block out a lot of light to the lower growth in the AU, it's quite the jungle in my room atm.
I will get some pics uploaded

I'm using biobizz lite mix with some extra perlite.
 
Hi, Marty :) That sounds like a lot of water, per day. Any chance you could post some pics of your girls? And, do you have a soil pH/moisture probe? In my flower tent, I have 5 plants at about 50 days, and they only need 1-1.5 litres every other day. I'm wonderingif the deficiencies you're seeing are from too much water. If you can post a pic or two, focused on the deficiencies, we'd be better able to diagnose.
Best to you! PM me if you like, once you have pics, and I'll check them out for you :)

I really don't understand why you are watering twice a day.If you are fully watering the entire pot until you get runoff there should be no need to water for a couple days or more.
 
I'm not watering twice a day at the moment, I will water every night pretty much as the pots are feeling quite light. If they're not light I will not water. Temperature in room is sitting at 27 celcius, I was kinda just going off from what I've read on different forums etc as to when pot feels light it's time to water. They're not dropping because of over watering, I have read a lot about people having to water twice a day, I didn't know if this was the case with photo's and not autos.
Ill get some pics up shortly as at the moment it's a bit a guessing game. Thanks for the speedy replies btw ;)
its my first grow and kinda just don't want anything to go wrong at this stage so trying to get all info available to stop me from f***ing up. Lol.

Right I have some pictures here. The brown mottling is on the think different, I thought possibly a calcium issue, and the up close of bud with yellowing and a strange hole in the leaf is the star Ryder. Then there is a picture to show the size of AU to rest, the other 3 are pretty much all same height. AU I keep getting a nitrogen def, can't seem to get rid. Any help here would be greatly appreciated

Marty
